Fig. 2 — Examples of shocked zircon and monazite grains from Yarrabubba monzogranite sample 14YB07 and Barlangi granophyre impact melt sample 14YB03. a Cathodoluminescence (CL) and Inverse Pole Figure (IPF) images of a shocked zircon with {112} deformation twins. The zircon contains primary oscillatory zoning that is cross-cut by shock deformation twins and subplanar low-angle grain boundaries. b Backscattered electron (BSE) image and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) all Euler map of a shocked monazite with systematic shock twin domains that are overprinted by neoblasts. c CL and IPF images of a polycrystalline shocked zircon grain from the granophyric impact melt. Note that individual crystallites exhibit concentric CL zonation patterns while the overall CL pattern reflects the original zonation of the grain with a CL brighter core to CL dark rim. The IPF orientation map of the zircon is dominantly blue to pink and many of the granules have systematic grain boundaries of either 65°/<110> or 90°/<110>. d BSE image and all Euler map of shock-deformed monazite displaying highly deformed and twinned domains that are overprinted by neoblasts, from the Barlangi granophyre. Location of U–Pb SIMS analytical spots are denoted on each grain with the ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb age and 2σ errors in Ma.
